Once upon a time…

Not that she minded, because she had one love - to draw and tell stories. Over time though she found that although she could… Continue reading Once upon a time…
I survived day 1
I have survived! And I even enjoyed myself. So far I have met a load of entrepreneurs, from gardeners to digital video makers. There are a smattering of linguistics and a number of artists. In fact those of us on the course are as different as different can be. I was also expected us to all… Continue reading I survived day 1
My Crystal Ball
Okay, so on the 21st of January I predicted that I didn't know what I'd be doing, just that I'd be writing. And I was right. But I was also wrong. You see I saw a future of writing, not of writing and drawing. Yet that is the place I inhabit at the moment. My… Continue reading My Crystal Ball

I have eight all started and all hitting about 20k words. But going no further. Why? Well, I can't sequence and I can't plan. Have… Continue reading Snowflakes

I know that I submit to a number of magazines and journals but I like to keep track of the anthologies, but this one… Continue reading Spooky Tales – I am published!
Where do you write?
Today, as I type I am sat in the main house of Aberglasney Gardens. I am surrounded by green and colour. The house is beautiful and apart from a history tape that is on a loop everything is very tranquil. Why are you there? I hear you ask. Well, I’m looking after the exhibition for… Continue reading Where do you write?
